Answer sheet

1. 1/2 — 50% is 50 out of 100, which simplifies to 12.
2. 7% — 0.07 is 7 hundredths, which is 7 out of 100, or 7%.
3. $35 — To find 10%, divide by 10: $350 ÷ 10 = $35.
4. 70% — Convert each to a percentage: 70%, 0.6 = 60%, 12 = 50% and 35 = 60%. 70% is the greatest.
5. 12 — 25% is one quarter. Half of 48 is 24 and half of 24 is 12.
6. $108 — 10% of $120 is $12. The sale price is $120 − $12 = $108.
7. 75% — 34 = 75100, which is 75%.
8. 18 — 10% of 30 is 3, so 60% is 6 × 3 = 18.
